Features:

Ignite Productivity With Fast, Accurate Dictation:

Say words and watch them appear on your computer screen - three times faster than typing - with up to 99% recognition accuracy right out of the box.

Correcting or revising your dictated text is fast and simple, too. Natural-sounding Text-to-Speech reads editable text for easy proofing or multi-tasking. Dragon adapts to your voice and the words you use to deliver better recognition results over time.

You can even personalize Dragon with your own custom vocabulary of acronyms, proper names and other unique phrases that you frequently use.

Dragon can even adapt its format rules by detecting your format corrections - abbreviations, numbers, and more - so your dictated text looks the way you want it to every time.

Ignite Proficiency & Ease Of Use Right Out Of The Box:

Thanks to the new interactive tutorial's simulations, you can learn and practice good dictation, correction and editing habits so that you can create text efficiently within just a few minutes.

The Dragon Help system contains a Tip of the Day window and other easy ways for you to quickly learn what interests you.

The Dragon Sidebar puts important voice commands and tips in one convenient desktop location.

And on-screen help means information is always available when you need it.

Ignite Freedom And Comfort At Your Pc:

Say goodbye to repetitive stress injuries. Use your PC in a comfortable, ergonomic way without being tied to your keyboard and mouse.

Open applications or folders, select menu items, click or move the mouse, press keys, switch from one window to another and more using simple voice commands.

Use the free Dragon Remote Mic app and use your Apple iPhone, iPad or iPod touch (4th gen) or your Android device as a wireless microphone over Wi-Fi for optimal convenience. Wideband Bluetooth support delivers outstanding wireless performance with no training required.

Ignite Convenience Using Your Favorite Windows Or Web Applications:

Use Dragon 12 Premium with virtually any Windows application.

Dictate documents in Microsoft Word, OpenOffice Writer, or Corel WordPerfect, work with spreadsheets in Microsoft Excel, create presentation text in Microsoft PowerPoint, manage email in Microsoft Outlook, search the Web using Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome, post to Facebook or Twitter, and more - all by voice.

Dragon 12 Premium even enhances the experience of using your voice with two of the most popular web-based email applications - Gmail and Hotmail - offering Full Text Control and commands for the most frequent actions in Internet Explorer 9, Mozilla Firefox 10 or higher, and Google Chrome 16 or higher.

Ignite Efficiency With Voice-Driven Multitasking:

Dragon Voice Shortcuts collapse common multi-step tasks into direct voice commands you can use at any time, no matter which applications are currently active. For example, say: "Send email to John Smith and Raphael Sanchez" or "Search maps for financial advisors in Boston, Massachusetts" or "search Google for 87 divided by 12" and Dragon makes it happen. You can also say "open top site for Facebook" and Dragon automatically opens the top-ranked page for these keywords.

You can even use voice commands to create emails, schedule tasks and appointments, and search your computer faster than ever before.
